📖 THE STORY OF SAINT JAMES THE APOSTLE Saint James the Apostle, also known as Saint James the Greater, was the son of Zebedee and Salome, and the brother of Saint John the Apostle, the beloved disciple of Jesus. Working as a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee, James immediately left his boat and family when Jesus called him: "Follow Me." Together with Peter and John, James formed Jesus' closest inner circle. He witnessed many of the most important moments of Christ's earthly ministry, including: ✝️ The Raising of Jairus' Daughter ✨ The Transfiguration on Mount Tabor 🙏 Jesus' Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane Following the Resurrection and Pentecost, James courageously preached the Gospel. According to ancient Christian tradition, he traveled as a missionary to the Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Spain), becoming one of the earliest evangelizers of Western Europe. After returning to Jerusalem, James was arrested during the persecution of Christians under King Herod Agrippa I. Around A.D. 44, he became the first of the Twelve Apostles to be martyred, fulfilling Christ's prophecy that he would drink the same cup of suffering. The Acts of the Apostles records: "He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword." (Acts 12:2) According to a long-standing Christian tradition, James' disciples transported his remains to Galicia, Spain, where they were eventually buried at what is now Santiago de Compostela.
